Mrs. Barrett, her mother, Mrs. Peter
Hauck and Miss Minnie Hauck were in

The appointment of Judge MsGill. of
Hudson county to be Chancellor, meets
with general disapprobatlon among the
lawyers of this city, who were all in favor
of the reappointment of Chancellor Run
yoA. They all agree that Judge MeGill is
one of the pleasantest of men and the most
upright of judges. He has been Prosecutor
of Hudson county, and is well versed in
Common law. But he is not a chAnceTY
lawyer Paterson Press
Judge McGill may have bean chosen
partly because more experienced Judges,
who were acceptable to the Governor, were
ny, - +oL has thA
burdens of the Office. The new appeintse
has much in his favor. All tho work that
he has done has been good work. His
record, Judicial. political, personal, is all
good as fax as it goes But Chancellor
Runyon should have been reappointed.
There was no good reason for his removal.
There we're thousand good reasons for
his retention. NeaodrHc Ness.
The differences that have existed be-
tween Secretary Kelsey and Senator Nc
Pherson, having been considered as dis
turbiDg the harmony necessary to the con-
timed success of the party to which they
belong, it has been the effort of mutual
friends of these &c tlemen, for some time,
to effect such an adj 1stmsnt of their politl-
cal relations as might be honorsbly made
by either Of them, and would resultin more
rnonieus action. We are informed that
these efforts have met with success, and
that the differences nave been adjusted in
manner satisfactory to those who made
the effort, and eredltabls to both partiss.-
Trenton american.
AS if TO emphasize the slight put upon
Chancellor Runyon, the successor whom
Governor Green has chosen is everything
that his predecessor is not. Mr. McGill is
youthful. inexperienced, and, SO far as
men know, without any of those mental
traits and requirements that would fit him
for the most important judicial place IN the
State of New Jersey. These ialities may
lie dormant in Mr. McGills personality;
they have not been developed. Bat Mr..
McGill is an active politician, warm party
friend of the &c tleman who dominates the
Democratic politics of Hudson county. 1t
is very much to be regretted that this
latter fact gives the clue to the Governors
otherwise inexplicable course. For
the Governors sake, for tie peoples sake,
we hope that Governor Green obligations
to ex Governor Albeit are now liquidated.

Judge Frank Fort, of Newark, seems
to have raised a little breeze in church
circles. He had introduced-and it is law
"a bill changing the entire system of elect
ing church trustees. Heretofore seven
trustees have been elected annually by the
male menbers of a congregation after ten
days notice had been served. These seven
then met and chose one of their number
treasurer. The bill provides that the
trustees shall be elected in classes for one,
two and three years, 1t also provides that
the congregations shall elect o person to
be treasurer who shall be an e1 oficio mem
Der of the Board of Trustees. Practically,
therefore, it provides FOR an extra trustee.
Judge Fort is said to be ambitious to be
trustee Of st. Paul's Methodist Church, in
Newark, and has adopted this method Of
making room for himself there.

Supreme Court Clerk Ben. Lee was
telling good story the other day. 1t was
the day Sewell was elected to the United
States Senate. Himself. and Sewell were
standing in front of the State House Just
after the election, when type of the most
polished tramp came up to them and asked
for some money, saying that he wanted to
go to his sick wife in Newark. The fellow
was 80 polished talker that Lee was
moved to compassion, and handing tbs
tramp coin he suggested that probably
his friend would also help him. The tramp
